We'd love to have @GovCox sub @LaunchHS someday. Our students want to help design solutions to the problems our state faces and would love to have you involved.
We've issued an executive order permitting state employees to take approved leave time from their state job to fill staffing gaps in a Utah public or private school. Read more ⬇️ governor.utah.gov/2022/01/31…

Creativity should not be taught as an elective only, as if it were a luxury, but should be a focus in every class. Today's complex world requires creative folks to help us design for tomorrow. #edutwitter #edchat #Creative #K12
